Yep. Those wrong leading apostrophe's have been popping up a lot for me lately (is there some special word for them?). I don't know if it's a problem with what the author/publisher did or if it's to do with Calibre's Smarten Punctuation function (probably because of nested quotations). But, I've been seeing a lot of the wrong version.
I've got a quick 'n dirty Saved Search to find them:
Code:
Search: (\s)‘([a-z])
Replace: \1’\2
but that finds oodles of false positives. One of these days, I'm going to have to think that through some more.
